At a distance, but quickly: undergraduates offer offline study projects

Nowadays, online education, distance learning, paid and free online courses and webinars are gaining wide popularity around the world. Due to the imposition of quarantine in our country, the use of Internet sites, computer programs and mobile applications for educational purposes has become an urgent research topic for the first-year undergraduates of Theory and Practice of Foreign Languages department. In the classes on Modern methods of teaching  foreign languages under the guidance of professor of the department G.I. Baigunisova, they offer interesting and diverse projects. So, Saken Karakozov developed a mini-project, the results of which can be used on the MyEnglishLab educational platform (https://www.pearson.com/english/myenglishlab.html). For fun grammar work, Saken himself created a training video (my video link-https: //drive.google.com/file/d/1HsRQVoMd6q8Iuy5PQAGa_p5FPzTQjUdA/view? Usp = sharin)
